Ramblings and Observations

Where do all of the leaves come from ...

... Trees!

We've cleared up so many leaves today you wouldn't believe, and looking at our trees you know this is just the start.  It must be autumn, and there are more every year, so seeing a tree surgeon visiting a neighbour we asked for a quote to 'control' the 3 that are now much bigger than the house and almost tickling the house across the road.  Seems like a really professional guy, and we've booked him in.

Just for clarity this isn't a moan - we LOVE living in a leafy hilltop suburb, close to a country park, and know that we are privileged to live in such a place.

December at the gym

7:30pm at the gym and all is calm and quiet. Jump forward 1 month and it will be so different!

AJ 1000m Swimmer

We are a very proud family. AJ has been awarded his 1000m swimming badge. Well done AJ. It's great having a fish in the family!

Saturday Mornings

The shopping is delivered and in the fridge. The kids are splashing around in their swimming lessons and the coffee is on tap. The sun is shining, the boss is better and has her new car to play with. Could it get better?

The Boss is on the mend

SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) has had her foot op. All appears to have gone well. She is home and being very brave. Two weeks unable to drive was a bit of a shock, especially with her shiny new car on the way. Many thanks for the good wishes conveyed. Hopefully histology reports, Xrays, links to special shoe suppliers and the like will make themselves to this blog for your entertainment in due course!

What a Great Hospital

The NHS get a lot of knockers, but I would again suggest that is unfair.  What a great service they provided when Eric was ill last week.  The staff were all friendly and attentive and quickly sorted him out at a very worrying time.

One thing that intrigued me though was that the Welsh Assembly made a big announcement last month that all Welsh Hospitals would have free parking.  Not so in Wrexham.  Is that because they are close to the English border?  Don't bother commenting.  I'm being mischievious!
